Chapter 962: The Truth About Sorcereer Clan, Yan Xiaosi!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Yu Wan first heard the Sorcerer Queen’s address, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly accepted it gladly. If there was a Sorcerer King in this world, there would naturally be a Sorcerer Queen. As for the identity of this Sorcerer Queen, she still needed this young captive to clear their doubts one by one.
Fortunately, he was poisoned by a Gu. He had no choice but to say whatever he was told to say.
From him, Yu Wan learned a lot of things that even Dawa had not found out.
A thousand years ago, when the Sorcerer Clan was at its peak, Sorcerer Kings were everywhere. At that time, Sorcerer Kings were worthless. It might be a little disrespectful to say that, but the truth was indeed so. At that time, Sorcerer Kings were the standard of a famous family. Every family would be embarrassed to enter the ranks of the top nobles if they didn’t have a Sorcerer King. The one in charge of the Sorcerer Clan was the Sorcerer Emperor.
Unfortunately, as the inheritance fell, none of the Sorcerer Emperors were left. Until now, there were very few people who had reached the realm of Sorcerer King.
The Sorcerer King was the most noble existence in the Sorcerer Clan and was in charge of the entire Sorcerer Clan. The throne of the Sorcerer Clan could not be inherited through bloodline. Therefore, even the son of the Sorcerer King might not become the Crown Prince of the Sorcerer Clan. He had to also become the Sorcerer King. Otherwise, other Sorcerer Kings would take over the throne.
If the previous Sorcerer King died but a new Sorcerer King did not appear, then the Sorcerer Clan would be temporarily controlled by the Elder Hall.
At the mention of the Elder Hall, one had to talk about this Sorcerer Queen.
Her grandfather was the Great Elder of the Sorcerer Clan. In the twenty years that the Sorcerer Clan had not had a Sorcerer King, her grandfather had always been in charge of the Sorcerer Clan. She was born a favored daughter. The Sorcerer King could be replaced, but the Elder Hall had always been prosperous. This was also why she had been promoted to the pedestal since she was young. Then, the Sorcerer King appeared. Unexpectedly but reasonably, she married the Sorcerer King.
This marriage could be said to be a match made in heaven. Everyone thought highly of it. After the marriage, the two of them indeed lived a respectful life. However, no one expected that a witch would come to the Sorcerer Clan more than ten years ago.
That witch was an outsider. It was said that she was from the Jade Nation. Everyone knew the situation in the Jade Nation. It was not easy for sorcerers to survive, and the powerful ones had fled to the Sorcerer Clan.
After the witch entered the Sorcerer Clan, she entered the palace as a maidservant. She was originally chosen to be beside the Sorcerer Queen, but by chance, she caught the eye of the Sorcerer King.
What happened after that did not escape the conventional melodrama. The Sorcerer King and the Witch fell in love at first sight and started a lingering love between them. The Witch was pregnant with their happiness.
If one wanted to ask the Queen for her opinion on this matter, she naturally had to kill that woman. It was also because the heavens were on the Queen’s side that she accidentally discovered that woman’s secret—she was actually a spy sent by the saints!
Her identity as a witch was fake. In fact, she was a Saintess!
No matter how one looked at it, it was a huge irony that the Saintess had the blood of the Sorcerer King in her stomach.
In the Sorcerer Clan’s opinion, the Sorcerer King had dealt with that woman and also killed the child in her stomach. However, according to the information Yu Wan and the others had recently obtained, that child was not dead at all. In fact, Zhou Jin was very likely that child.
Yu Wan wanted to ask more, but the effect of the Gu worm had passed. Fortunately, she had asked the most important questions. It would not be too late to slowly ask about the rest.
Dawa looked at the sorcerer who was forced to reveal countless truths in confusion and murmured in disbelief, “Why didn’t you poison me back then?” Instead, she interrogated him directly? Did he not look as unyielding as this sorcerer?!
“What should we do with him?” Shadow Six asked.
Dawa said without thinking, “Of course it’s to threaten him to bring you to the
Sorcerer Clan, just like how you threatened me back then!”
Yan Jiuchao said, “Kill him. You, pretend to be him.”
Dawa was speechless. Was he easier to threaten than him?! Did he really look so spineless? Huh?!
In the end, this person was killed. Dawa, who had sworn not to be related to this group of people, disguised himself as this person. Dawa looked at himself in the bronze mirror and suddenly felt that life was so sad.
There was no time to lose. Everyone immediately began to pack their things, planning to set off overnight.
When they were interrogating the sorcerer, Zhou Jin was not present. Mu Qing and Zhou Yuyan were there. The two of them sighed about their junior brother’s background, but at the same time, they had an unspoken mutual understanding and did not mention this matter. Yu Wan felt that there was no need to deliberately hide it from Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin was not an ordinary child. He carried the bloodline of the Sorcerer Clan and the Sacred Clan. He was the most unique existence in the world. As for the melodramatic love triangle between the Sorcerer King, the witch, and the Sorcerer Queen, it was not Zhou Jin’s fault. He was innocent. He should not have been abandoned or killed.
Yu Wan went to Zhou Jin’s room.
As if he had expected Yu Wan to say something to him, Zhou Jin seemed even quieter than usual. His thin and weak body was sitting in front of the window. Cold moonlight shone in, shining on his handsome and young face and on his deep eyes.
“Someone from the Sorcerer Clan has come,” Yu Wan said.
“Mm.” Zhou Jin nodded.
Yu Wan came to his side and placed her hand on his shoulder. ‘Your father is the Sorcerer King. This has been confirmed.”
“But your mother isn’t the Sorcerer Queen,” Yu Wan said bluntly.
“Mm.” Zhou Jin continued to nod.
Such an answer was reasonable. Zhou Jin’s father was the Sorcerer King. If his mother was the Sorcerer Queen, he would not be a child who could not see the light. Yu Wan saw his reaction and understood that he had guessed it long ago. This child was so smart that her heart ached.
“Then is my mother still alive?” Zhou Jin suddenly asked.
Yu Wan shook her head. “I don’t know.” According to the Sorcerer Clan, the Sorcerer King had dealt with the mother and son. However, since Zhou Jin was alive, could his mother be hidden somewhere by the Sorcerer King?
Yu Wan continued, “We now have a token to go to the Sorcerer Clan and a way to get close to the Sorcerer King. You don’t have to follow us to the Sorcerer
Clan.”
Back then, they needed Zhou Jin. Firstly, Zhou Jin was a great sorcerer and could bring them into the Sorcerer Clan. Secondly, Zhou Jin had a relationship with the Sorcerer King and could help them get closer to the Sorcerer King more successfully. But now, they had a “collaborator” who could take the path of the Sorcerer Queen, so they did not have to let Zhou Jin take the risk.
“I want to go to the Sorcerer Clan,” Zhou Jin said. Yu Wan looked at him deeply.
Zhou Jin raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. “Since the Sorcerer Queen forced him to kill his child, his relationship with the Sorcerer Queen must not be good. If you take the Sorcerer Queen’s path, you might not be able to get what you want.”
“How did you know that I wanted to look for the Sorcerer King to take something?” Yu Wan did not remember mentioning Yan Jiuchao’s poisoning to this brat.
“I guessed,” Zhou Jin said. “You’re in a hurry to find the Sorcerer King. It can’t be for revenge. You’re not that kind of person.”
Since it was not a vendetta, it meant that there was a need.
This child saw through everything.
Every time Yu Wan looked at him, she would feel her heart ache for him. This heartache made her think of the little Rakshasa in the Nether Capital. They were all children that made her heart ache, but the feeling of heartache was different. The little Rakshasa made her heart ache, while Zhou Jin was the faint sorrow in her heart. It was not strong, but it could always tug at her heart.
Suddenly, Yu Wan’s stomach moved.
Zhou Jin did not deliberately think about Yu Wan’s stomach, but this commotion was really too big. It was difficult for him not to notice. His gaze moved from Yu Wan’s face to her stomach.
Yu Wan lowered her head in amusement and touched her round stomach. “It’s been more than six months and you’ve become more and more naughty.” As soon as she finished speaking, the little fellow in her stomach seemed to respond and hit her again.
“Hiss…” Yu Wan gasped.
Whose child was so energetic after six months?
“Can… Can I touch it?” Zhou Jin asked in a daze. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a very overboard question. As the saying goes, men and women have different seats when they’re seven years old. He was already nine years old. How could he touch a woman’s stomach?
Yu Wan did not treat him as a man. He was nine years old and a child who had yet to grow up. Yu Wan smiled and pulled his cold hand over her stomach.
The little fellow in her stomach moved again.
“Wow!” Zhou Jin felt his palm being shaken. His eyes widened and he blinked. A strange feeling spread in his heart. Zhou Jin’s expression changed again and again. “She will be born safely,” Zhou Jin said solemnly after a long time.
These were not auspicious words, but blessings and prophecies from a sorcerer..
